“Biomedical engineering is exciting because it enables me to be part of cutting edge technology every day. The ever-changing industry opens up endless possibilities and can lead to significant advances in health care.”

Colin Myers, Undergraduate student

Department of Biomedical Engineering

Myers works as a project manager for Circuit Clinical, a
biotechnology startup based in Buffalo. The company aims to bring
new medical solutions to patients by streamlining the process of
clinical trials.

“It is such enterprising work done every day that feeds
economic development and technological excellence within the
Buffalo Niagara region,” Info Tech WNY stated on their
website.

Myers majors in biomedical engineering. “Biomedical
engineering is exciting because it enables me to be part of cutting
edge technology every day. The ever-changing industry opens up
endless possibilities and can lead to significant advances in
health care,” he shared.

Myers plans on continuing his education at UB, and hopes to grow
with Circuit Clinical as the startup continues its success here in
Buffalo. “The company is moving at an incredible pace and I
am excited to see where we will be in the future,” he
said.

Myers was connected to Circuit Clinical by the Buffalo Institute
for Genomics and Data Analytics (BIG) and its executive director,
Dr. Brian McIlroy. “I couldn’t be where I am today
without their help,” Myers said.

To balance out his dynamic work and school life, Myers enjoys
trail running, playing soccer, and is currently building his own
FPV (first person view) quadcopter. As a long term goal, he’d
eventually like to start his own company.

When asked about his award, Myers humbly answered, “I'm
extremely honored to have received this award. All of the
candidates that were nominated are exceptionally bright and will go
on to do great things.”

The UB School of Engineering and Applied Sciences community is
proud of Colin for his considerable success and are looking forward
to seeing what he does next.

The University at Buffalo's Department of Biomedical Engineering
is a joint program between the School of Engineering and Applied
Sciences and the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical
